Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Mexican composer heavily incorporates indigenous pre-Columbian instrumentation鈥攕uch as ocarinas and teponaztlis鈥攊nto deeply atmospheric electronic soundscapes. This ritualistic, tribal ambient work serves as a profound sonic meditation on Mesoamerican history and the literary magic realism of Juan Rulfo.
